Students, check out Slow Food CU
Boulder has a second Slow Food Chapter founded in June 2008 by CU student Lauren Duncan. Lauren is a food editor for a CU online publication and a real "foodie". Lauren and Mary Johnson of the education committee for Slow Food Boulder met to discuss volunteer opportunities at Cure Organic Farm and out of that discussion grew Slow Food CU. Lauren was soon joined by CU students Cole Gehler and Jen Mayer followed by several other students. Work began with our national office and was quickly followed by a series of events-shopping and a tour of the Boulder Farmer's Market, several pot lucks and a tabling event with other CU student groups to spread awareness of the group and its plans. A group of the CU members prepared and joined in the Slow Food Boulder Make Your Own BLT at the end of August. They have their own web site and are busy planning future events.
